"THE LORD IS NIGH UNTO ALL"

John J. Selover

God is universal, supreme, infinite, according to the teachings of Christian Science. His closeness to His creation is declared in this verse from the Psalms (145:18): "The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth."

What a wonderful comfort it is to those who may be crying for help to know that God, divine Love, is right at hand! But His beneficent presence is not evident to those who deny or ignore Him. To gain the benefits of God's presence, one must "call upon him in truth."'

In her sermon entitled "Christian Healing," Mary Baker Eddy points out (p. 17),"Not by the senses—the lusts of the flesh, the pride of life, envy, hypocrisy, or malice, the pleasures or the pains of the personal senses—does man get nearer his divine nature and present the image and likeness of God."
